Nope, it proves however that a ref will sometimes try to even up a shocking decision with another shocking decision.

Decisions do not even themselves out over a season - pure cliched rubbish.
Ok but Liverpool have had plenty of decisions go in their favour aswell. It's not like they're the only victims to poor decisions.

I don't think it's ever been suggested that we are the only victims to poor decisions

he was in his element sat at the side of a 5yr old kid who was singing all the city songs, started telling me about all the pubs that used to be where city's ground is now situated. He worked at Bradford colliery (on the site of the etihad) had another trip down memory lane. He had 2 Hollands pies before game and one after. Not bad to say 6 months ago he could not eat half of one.

still talks about when he used to watch city one week with his utd mates then went to the swamp the following week with his rag mates. For years his mates who supported city and the rags went to one another's games. Can't quite see that happening nowadays.

ps cheers liver birdie an liver phil

Same on Merseyside up until the seventies, I think footy fans became more tribal then. I've even heard of some who watched sunderland and Newcastle, which did surprise me.

2 hollands pies - show off, my dad was one of six, and they shared one between the six of them! Iv'e made up for him since.

A Liverpool supporters opinion so of course ya think its a pen.

He he touched ball so not a pen.

But hey. You got the result you deserved and Gerrard is my dreamteam captain so I'm happy for you to get pens a plenty!

Not necessarily - I still dont think it was a pen.

Flanagan did not go down early though, just watched it again, look at the level of his shoulders when running, it doesn't alter until he's challenged.

The derby has got very nasty in recent years - for decades you used to have mixed crowds at both games in most areas bar the obvious but it's get more dangerous to do that now.

Remember watching both cup finals in 86 and 89 surrounded by Bluenoses

Oh aye, in the eighties there would be 15,000 reds spread all around Goodison,10,000 of them spread around Anfield, but they would be one or the other.red or blue.

I think pre-seventies though the ones who went to both, would be happy for EFC or LFC to win.

For my first 20 Goodison derbies I was in the Everton end for about 15 of them. I was in the upper bullens (home part) for the gary mac goal though - that was fun!:whoo:

Not really old enough to remember 70's :whistle:

80's was my era and it had every emotions going

My dad was stationed in Scotland at the time so stayed with my uncle in Chester - the train journey to wemberlee was amazing ! What an atmosphere

Me neither, you cheeky get, well only as a kid. 80's was my era also. I went the 1984,1986 and 1989 finals - magic time for the city (football wise).

So looking forward to next week, even for the atmosphere - it will be special beforehand (and hopefully after).

If City come and turn us over, and get the win, fair play to them. I just hope its won or lost on football reasons, and the ref isn't the star. A scruffy 1-0 would do, though.

It was a special decade and watching them destroy Arsenal today I hope we can see a whole City revival

I'm working against next Sunday but the atmosphere is going to be European night special

Any win would do but really love to see a special game and lots of flair and attacking football

Well that's changed it a bit.... .

Thanks to Celtic FC today for their support, they've stood by us since '89.

As for Chelsea well done.

As much as it pains me to say it (which is a lot....trust me) I think Liverpool have been the best side in the Prem this year and have been the best to watch. I think that they realize that defensively they can be frail but if the oppo score 3, they will try to score 4. Coutinho was a superb signing last year and has really flown under the radar with regards to getting the accolades he deserves.

I think if Toure is injured City will struggle to get 2nd.........He's that important to them.

Just keep winning, just keep winning....
